A striking pair of bookends, featuring stylized birds, typical of the Art Deco era (approx. 1920s-1940s). These pieces are captivating due to their bold, geometric lines and the wonderful contrast in materials. Each bookend depicts a stylized bird with its head bowed, designed to lean against a row of books. The sleek, dark wood bodies and carved wings give them a sophisticated, streamlined look. Materials: The bodies of the birds and the base blocks are made of dark, polished wood. The prominent, pointed beaks and the small feet of the birds are crafted from a contrasting light yellow Bakelite which was popular during the period. Small, contrasting circular eyes (also Bakelite ) add a charming detail. Functionality: When placed together, the two birds face each other, creating a visually balanced and engaging effect. Good condition - used with small signs of aging & blemishes, consistent with their vintage age. These bookends would make a wonderful addition to any collection of Art Deco objects, vintage home decor, or as a distinctive accent on a bookshelf. Secured shipping with tracking code.
